DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP3376A is
a
synchronous boost
8 Channels with Max 50mA/Channel
Synchronous Converter with LS-FET/HS-
FET 160m/260mΩ On Resistance
3V to 30V Input Voltage Range
Up to 37.5V Output Voltage
520mV LED Regulation Voltage at 20mA
Max 2.5% Current Matching
350kHz / 500kHz / 650kHz / 800kHz /
950kHz / 1.2MHz / 1.8MHz / 2.4MHz
Selectable Switching Frequency
A0, A1 Pins for Four I2C Addresses
0mA to 50mA Full-Scale LED Current, 8-Bit,
0.196mA/Step
converter with eight current channels designed
to drive WLED arrays for LCD panels in tablets
and notebook backlighting applications.
The MP3376A uses peak-current-mode and
pulse-width modulation (PWM) control to
maintain boost converter regulation. The
MP3376A employs a standard I2C digital
interface to set the operation mode, switching
frequency, full-scale current for each channel,
sync or non-sync mode, dimming mode and
duty, and various protection thresholds.
The MP3376A features high efficiency due to
low-headroom voltage for LED regulation and a
small on resistance of the switching MOSFET.
The synchronous rectifier saves PCB size and
total BOM cost.
Selectable Sync or Non-Sync Mode
Multi-Dimming Operation Mode Including:
o Analog Dimming through External PWM
Input, 10-Bit Resolution
o Analog Dimming through I2C Interface,
10-Bit Resolution
